Pathogenic interactions between Helicobacter pylori adhesion protein HopQ and human cell surface adhesion molecules CEACAMs in gastric epithelial cells
Objective(s): The present paper aims to review the studies describing the interactions between HopQ and CEACAMs along with possible mechanisms responsible for pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori.Materials and Methods: The literature was searched on “PubMed” using different key words including Helicobacter pylori, CEACAM and gastric.<br ...
متن کاملSingle atomic contact adhesion and dissipation in dynamic force microscopy.
By combining dynamic force microscopy experiments and first-principles calculations, we have studied the adhesion associated with a single atomic contact between a nanoasperity--the tip apex--and a semiconductor surface--the Ge(111)-c(2 x 8). The nanoasperity's termination has been atomically characterized by extensive comparisons of the measured short-range force at specific sites with the che...
متن کاملCell adhesion force microscopy.
The adhesion forces of cervical carcinoma cells in tissue culture were measured by using the manipulation force microscope, a novel atomic force microscope. The forces were studied as a function of time and temperature for cells cultured on hydrophilic and hydrophobic polystyrene substrates with preadsorbed proteins. The cells attached faster and stronger at 37 degreesC than at 23 degreesC and ...
متن کاملInvestigating single molecule adhesion by atomic force spectroscopy.
Atomic force spectroscopy is an ideal tool to study molecules at surfaces and interfaces. An experimental protocol to couple a large variety of single molecules covalently onto an AFM tip is presented. At the same time the AFM tip is passivated to prevent unspecific interactions between the tip and the substrate, which is a prerequisite to study single molecules attached to the AFM tip. Analyse...
متن کاملSignals Regulating Adhesion Dynamics
Adhesions are sites of contact between cells (cell-cell) and between cells and the extracellular matrix (cell-ECM) that are essential for numerous biological processes such as embryogenesis, wound healing, and the immune response. They are composed of many different molecules including adhesion receptors, signaling proteins (e.g., kinases, phos-phatases, and adaptor proteins), and structural pr...
